The fifth edition of the Walk for Dignity marks a major milestone, highlighting the strength of the movement and the ongoing commitment to Maison St-Raphaël’s mission. It gives participants the opportunity to honour a loved one, raise public awareness about the importance of palliative care and collect essential funds to help maintain services. Once again this year, Maison St-Raphaël is proud that so many participants came together to support the cause, with more than 500 people walking through the streets of Côte-des-Neiges and Outremont.
55,555 steps: Mission accomplished for the founder of the Walk
To mark the 5th anniversary of the Walk for Dignity, Marie Michèle Del Balso (founder of the Walk for Dignity and former president of the Board of Directors) and her team took on an inspiring challenge: 55,555 steps in one day to raise $55,555 for Maison St-Raphaël. The group met their goal with flying colours, proving that the Walk continues to inspire and bring people together through its deep significance for Maison St-Raphaël.
“After five years, what a joy to see such strong support for Maison St-Raphaël! Thanks to the outstanding solidarity shown today by the walkers, donors and volunteers, we raised a significant amount in donations, equivalent to nearly one month of services at the care home. This support is invaluable: It allows us to continue offering free, dignified palliative care in a warm, human-centred environment. Thank you to everyone who walked and donated. A special thank-you to Groupe Santé Nadon, our partner who made this day possible.”
